- The Road to Oshkosh
- Saturday, August 16, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire and Andrew Shire
We often hear the cliche that "getting there is half the fun." For most
of us the travel to a destination is a means to an end but on this trip the travel
across three states by Interstate and the day light awareness of the country through
which we travelled became a separate adventure.

 Gay Marriage . . . And Then
What?- Thursday, August 14, 2003
by: Ron Thornton
This issue will be dealt with by parliament this fall as it attempts to cope with
court rulings and the intention of the government to find a compromise. But what
are the possible consequences of changing the definition of the fundamental core
of our society.

 Ottawa’s Kyoto plan:
Another billion-dollar boondoggle- Thursday, August 14, 2003
by: Walter Robinson
The concern Mr. Robinson brings to our attention is that the Government simply doesn't
know what it is doing with this huge project. The present proposals sound like massive
spending of taxpayer's money in a variety of programmes that have little prospect
of producing the desired result.

 Catholics are bound by conscience
to adhere to the Pope's teachings- Wednesday, August 13, 2003
by: Rudy Fernandes
It is important to understand the mind set of our fellow citizens and Mr. Fernandes
gives us a look on the pro-Bishop Henry side of things. It would have been nice for
Bishop Henry to have been as vocal when the issue of Catholic priest and sexual abuse
of children was in the news. For many of us the Roman Catholic Church has lost all
moral authority as it condones and contributes to sexual abuse by its priests and
leaders.

 The game theory
of Policy Analysis Market (PAM):Bush's attempt to make terrorism a
commodity of the Free Market- Wednesday, August 13, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Mario deSantis developed this remarkable story over a week ago but we were unable
to get it to you until now. Sometimes, and this is one of those times real events
are much wilder than anything anyone could dream up as fiction.

 The No-Fault Insurance
of the Free Market: No fault with Dr. Cassidy, SGI, University of Saskatchewan
and Dr. McLennan- Wednesday, August 13, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Three years ago we figured out that the provincial insurance company was using the
University of Saskatchewan to create some evidence for their no fault scheme. Now
the research has been declared invalid by the University's ethics committee but the
fools are still circling the wagons and the University's credibility and ability
to attract research is history.
